List's Help

[the_scott_mans]

well i am getting so confused and i am going crazy and don't know what to do. How is it that i go about using a list and enter in the selection and the selection has values (PRICES FOR CASH REGISTER) after entering in the selection and pressing enter it adds it up and adds on the tax.

EX. here is an example about how my list is spaced out and they have headings. the there is items under the headings which are the ones that i want to have the values and be able to select.

put "" : 14, "Electronics"
put "" : 14, "*************"
put ""
put ""
put "" : 14, "Xbox"
put "" : 14, "1.Games"
put "" : 14, "2.Controllers"
put ""
put ""
put "" : 14, "PS2"
put "" : 14, "3.Games"
put "" : 14, "4.Controller"

just ask the user for the price... it would be easiest to do this way...

think of the real cash regestry... instead of typing it in, they just scan the bar code... which basically is the same thing.

Ya but i am not using it to scan a barcode i want it almost like a data base where you select the things and it adds it up

if you're making a db, you may as well make 2 arrays, one array for the name, and the other array for the prices (corosponding arrays of course)

How do i make them interact

[Tony]

well you enter a name, then you search though the name array to find which item data it is.

say i entered "wacom" and it turns out to be the name stored in array_name(5)

#5 if your item number. you use that number to get the price from the second array

put array_price(5)
